QUESTION:

PROBLEM 2E

Let P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.6.

(a) Find P(A B) when A and B are independent.

(b) Find P(A|B) when A and B are mutually exclusive.

ANSWER:

Solution 2E

Step1 of 3:

We have,

P(A) = 0.3 and

P(B) = 0.6

We need to find,

a).P(AB) when A and B are independent.

b).P(A/B)  when A and B are mutually Exclusive.

Step2 of 3:

a).

P(AB)  can be calculated by using the formula P(AB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AB)

Where,

P(AB) = P(A)P(B)    [because we know that A and B are independent]
